I ride motorbikes. Fast. But watching that was something else! I can't understand how those guys can even see where they are supposed to be going, let alone control the bike down a path like that. Amazing.

I was going to say "seriously? this is like the 3rd or 4th time a video like this was posted", then I watched it. Yea, holy crap is a good title. narrow paths, poles sticking out everywhere, massive flights of stairs. That does NOT look fun.

There have been a few of the mountain biking threads like this one and this one, but this one is like a combination of the two. At least this time they had padding on the poles and no animals randomly roaming across the race path. Of course even with padding on the poles, there's still 100 other ways to get injured doing that.

Of course if they ever remake one the movie "BMX Bandits" (without the branding obviously), I'd hope they'd do something like this for the movie.

OnlyM3:937 steps, speed-bumps, ramps and unpaved roads and the camera was more stable than anything jjabrams has ever shot.

That's a damned fact.

I did something similar to this ONCE in college; it didn't end well. Some of those red clay hills in SC have some NAStay rocks jutting from them, and when autumn rolls around, the rains wash out some vicious little gulleys that are hidden by the leaves, *juuuust* wide enough to catch a bike tire and wrench it right out from under you. At 35 MPH, that shiat hurts on impact.

See, I don't get that. It's nice and all that they padded the poles, but for cryin' out loud, why bother? there are literally a hundred other terrible ways to die on that path. At least a pole impact has the potential for a quick death!

It looks like this run was planned out very well. If you pay attention, you can see color coded speed markers through the whole course. It looks like babyblue, yellow and red were the codes for fast, caution, dead slow. You can see not only flags along the way, but the bumper pads on poles, and I even noticed some wall markers.

Yeah this was a really tough, dangerous course, but it was also not just a random dude making a speed run.
